Leo McDermott converts motor fishing vessel Síle A Dó into a ketch

 

After conversion and before

Leo McDermott has clearly done a wonderful job converting an old MFV into a sailing ketch that many of us would love to own.

I have slightly mixed feelings on the issue, as we all mourn the slow loss of the old fashioned MFVs – but I guess the old Síle probably didn’t have much of a future as she was and the new Síle is such a gem.  Congratulations Leo!

There are many more pictures on Leo’s weblog Síle A Dó.
